To see the most current team speculation on all the possible trade-able players and some comments updated regularly, go to
The Rumor Chart. Players are added and adjusted throughout the days as to what percentages I feel are their most likely destinations based on the hundreds of phone calls, emails, texts, IMs and telegrams I receive.
Some quick hits today...I will do a full rumor update and refresh on the Rumor Chart this evening.
On Evander Kane...
It looks like you can add another name to the trade watch at the coming draft. Evander Kane.
As was the case before, and has been going on for quite some time now, the Montreal Canadiens are highly interested in Evander Kane and reports continue that Kane is likely not going to sign in Winnipeg.
One source called it, "The Canadiens focus on the trade front."
I am actually working on a major update on Monday morning that would list all the possible trade scenarios I am hearing for the first round. In my many years of covering trade rumors I can honestly say this draft has the most potential for excitement. Players are out there and ready to be traded for. The kinds of players we rarely see traded are almost CERTAIN to get traded.
On Teuvo Teravainen...
Ok, I am NOT the prospect guy on hockeybuzz. Truth be told, in my opinion, we have the #1 site on the internet for prospects. the work Brian Huddle, Eric Smith, Adam French, Julie Robenhymer, and the rest of the writers are doing this season getting you ready for the draft on Friday is PHENOMENAL.
However, I do have a scoop on Teuvo Teravainen.
While he is ranked all over the map, I am hearing from several teams that he is quite likely to 5 and will definitely go top 10 in the draft. He is constantly compared to Claude Giroux for his vision and playmaking abilities.
One scout, "The kid is a flat out star. He is a can't miss...even above the Russians in our book."
Another scout told me not since Saku Koivu has a Finnish player come into the NHL with such a high promise. I remember Koivu drawing Larionov comparisons...
Anaheim, Montreal, Carolina are possibilities....Edmonton is trying to get another top 10 pick to draft him....and don't be surprised if a team were to move up as well...Philly and Boston really like Teuvo as well...
"He won't stick around nearly as long as people are thinking," a western source informed me again today, "Top 8 definitely."
